Changes by Bylaw - changes indicated in red
- Bylaw 2: The voting members of the Samvera Steering Group shall be individuals supported in their participation by a Samvera Partner institution. No two members of the Steering Group shall be supported concurrently by the same Partner institution. Should a Steering Group member move institutions, such that this bylaw causes an ambiguity, the Steering Group will work with Partners to resolve it.
- Bylaw 8: The Steering Group shall elect a Chair and Chair-Elect. The Chair-Elect succeeds the position of Chair immediately following their one-year term. The Chair, working in close collaboration with the Chair-Elect, will facilitate Steering meetings and act as the conduit for communication with any hired Samvera staff.
